Jayson Tatum knee issue & Ben Simmons rumors

Team USA lost to Australia in their second Olympic tuneup, which was a little different than their loss to Nigeria. John Karalis looks at Jayson Tatum's quiet game and looks at the short term things Gregg Popovich might do to change things and whether that will put Tatum on the bench to start games. Also, since Tatum is one of the centerpieces of USA Basketball moving forward, how close is he to ushering in a new era of American basketball struggles?
